A Crest Depository Interest (CDI) is a UK financial security that represents a stock traded on a stock exchange outside the UK. CDIs are issued by CREST, and one CDI is the equivalent of one share of an eligible foreign stock.
Under UK law, actual international shares cannot be dealt directly through CREST, and so the CDIs allow investors to trade in some foreign stocks. CDIs can be settled through CREST like a regular UK share. CDIs are not traditionally listed on the London Stock Exchange, and are traded off-exchange.
The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA, a SIPP or an IG Smart Portfolio can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Spread bets and CFDs are leveraged products and can result in losses that exceed deposits. Spread betting and CFD trading are not permitted within the IG SIPP. Please ensure you fully understand the risks and take care to manage your exposure.
